The engine has a number of cylinders, whether it's 3, 4, 5, 6… 8…. whatever, and each one of those cylinders is designed to produce the same amount of power. If one is not able to produce the same power as the rest, then that cylinder is down and the engine might miss a bit or have a check engine light. If you think this may be the case with your automobile, this video from Eric the Car Guy will show you how to perform a power balance test on your car's engine. It's very helpful in nailing do...
Staying at a hotel for business? You probably think that traveling means you can't cook, right? Wrong. There are lots of ways to make delicious dishes if you're inventive (and we're not just talking about heating things up in the microwave, guys and gals).

In this tutorial, we learn how to understand vowels and vowel sounds in Spanish. To best understand how to say the vowel sounds in Spanish, you will want to listen to a native speaker saying different words. Take some of the words that you might think sound the same, but are completely different. These words can use the same vowels but have a different sound because of the pronunciation that is associated with them. Start to practice the vowels out one by one, then start to use them in words ...

Simon Leach teaches us how to put handles on your ceramics in this tutorial. The key thing is to never let the handle fall as you are adding it to a cup, always keep it supported. Look at the handle as you are placing it on and think about proportion and size. If it's sticking out too far it's going to get knocked off. You need to have an elliptical shaped handle when you are shaping them so they can be gripped properly. Don't score the bottom part when you are joining the handle to the botto...
We never thought this would happen. A cherry pie AND cupcake in one? We have officially died and gone to foodie heaven. Make sure you take a closer inspection of these cherry pie/cupcake hybrids, however: These are actually cupcakes decorated to resemble cherry pies using frosting.
If your little girl loves jewelry making but you're scared she's going to poke her eye out with a wire when you're not looking, sleep soundly at night by teaching her how to craft shrink plastic jewelry. Perhaps the safest and easiest forms of jewelry making, it involves only shrink plastic and a mini oven (which you would help out with).
In order to add fractions that are not alike, you will need to find the lowest common denominator. This is the least common multiple of the fractions. To add 2/3 plus 1/5, you will need to find the lowest common denominator. Here, it is best to think of all of the multiples of the denominators. If it helps, make a list. For 3, it is 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc. For five, the multiples are 5, 15, 20, 25, etc.
Don't be a bore and think that all necklaces have to end with a single clasp! While single clasp closures are common, they can also be a pain sometimes to open and close (if you've ever had a tight necklace that moved during the day to the back of your head and you didn't know where the clasp went then you know what we're talking about).
What's the secret to Victoria's Secret hair? Not much, really. Sure, Victoria's Secret Angels make everything about them - including their perfect wavy hair - seem way out of our reach in all of their bodily perfection, but their hairstyle is easier than you think to achieve.
The runways are not the likeliest of places to look for makeup trends that are immediately wearable (think the recent fashion show in Spain where models went bald and wore thinning gray beards), but this fall the overall makeup trend has been one that's surprisingly translatable off the runway.
So we have to admit something. We're not entirely sure what this project is. It looks like one of those Sweedish straw ornaments you hang on the tree during Christmas, but then again it could also just be an abstract representation of the sun.
Could Katy Perry look any hotter in her new music video for "Teenage Dream"? In the song, Perry sings about how the guy of her dreams thinks she's pretty without any makeup on, and as such she wears minimal makeup in the video. Just some simple neutral shadow and glossy pink lips are all she sports in every scene of the video, shot in her hometown of Santa Barbara.
This prank is great because it combines the digital and the analog to create a multimedia prank. All you have to do is load up this web page, which looks just like the Google front end. If you follow the instructions in this video, you will learn how to make the two O's in the title disappear from the page. Combined with a little storytelling and misdirection on your part, this can be turned into a trick where you make your friends think that you have magically erased the two O's from Google'...
It's true that some supermodels have cheekbones so sharp they could grate cheese (think Gisele and Karlie Kloss). These girls were born pretty, but that doesn't mean they don't need a little help in the makeup department to look their modeling best.
Think there's only one way to apply makeup? While it's true that the same general rules apply to shaping your brows and applying foundation, certain makeup tasks like putting on eyeshadow and blush vary in method depending on individual traits like the shape of your face and your eye color.
This tough origami gorilla would totally kick King Kong's ass in a one-on-one match-up. Or at least we think so. With a broad, intimidating body and a strong, confident scowl on his face, this gorilla is not one to be messed with.
If you have a friend who always leaves their valuable possession out in their car, where anyone can see them and only need break into the car to take them, you owe this prank to them to teach them a lesson. Get some broken glass and a key to their car, wait until they're out of the car and have left their stuff there, then take the stuff, roll their window down, and leave the glass around the window. When they return, they'll think someone broke into their car and robbed it. Really, it was yo...

Well this is quite the alternative crochet project. You've probably already knitted a light, hole-y Afghan, and even a long, thick crochet scarf for the winter months, but we can bet you've never even thought of crocheting your own earrings.
Crepes, like guys who go jogging without their shirts on, only exist to make us happy. They're there for us when our sweet tooth urges overpower our diet and when our PMS cravings send us autopiloting toward the nearest bakery and patisserie. And we never thought that crepes, in all their godlike perfection, could ever be improved upon until now.

Halloween is coming sooner than you think; have you decided what you're going to dress up as yet? While going with the wicked witch or sexy black cat route is always fun and unfailingly cute, the easy choice quickly becomes the dull one, especially if you're essentially worn the same costume time after time.
In this tutorial, we learn how to cram for a test if you need to. It's always best to study adequately, but cramming is always needed at times. If you cram in all the information right before you go to bed, it will soak into your mind after that while you are sleeping. Your subconscious will think about everything you just read, then you will be able to do better on your test. Make sure to do this one hour before you go to bed for the best results. When you take your test, make sure you eat a...
Here in America, we have this idea that the bigger, the better. Why purchase large fries when you can get them supersized for just $40 extra, for instance, and why not buy the value pack of salsa to save some money when compared to buying individually?
We we first started playing the piano, we thought every scale other than the C major scale was just too darn difficult. Too bad we didn't have this clever video to help us out!

This journal is a fun project to do by yourself or with other artists. Make sure you unify your book with the subject and take your time in making the theme ti...
There's no excuse not to eat cupcakes. Except, of course the scary calorie count. But who thinks about calories anyway when his/her taste buds are having a mouthgasm from stuffing down a red velvet cupcake?
Most think of garlic bread and something simple, something quick, something standard, but for really good garlic bread, you have to defy the standards. Garlic bread is a great companion to any Italian dish, but what if you want to make it stand out on its own?
After punk/pop princess Avril Lavigne got married to Derek Whibly, she began dressing a lot more girly (think striped Chanel gowns) and also toned down her signature overdone raccoon eyes. The result was a lighter look that helped emphasize Lavigne's naturally delicate and beautiful features.

You do need a billiards table, no holes in this game.
Moneygami is exactly what you think it is - a hybrid of money and origami. Rather than folding origami with your typical origami tissue papers, you can craft yourself something truly special by using money instead.
In this tutorial, we learn how to throw a change-up in baseball little league. To do a circle throw, you will use your three fingers to make a circle on the baseball, and pitch it and just throw it like you're throwing a fast ball. Teach your child how to change speeds while throwing, so they are a good pitcher in baseball and think about what they are doing before they throw the ball. The more you stick the ball into the palm, the softer the ball will be. The close to the fingertips the ball...

You've probably seen old t-shirts being turned into dresses, miniskirts, and if you're a fan of Gianny L, even two-piece bikinis, but you've probably never even thought about it transforming them into underwear. It may seem a bit odd at first, but making these intimate pieces from t-shirts means you can customize the pattern as well as the type of cut (cheeky, granny top, or thong?).
With more and more movies being released in 3-D, it's important to remember a little thing called bacteria. If you want to be free of another person's germs, then you need to think about those 3-D glasses. They're prime targets for bacteria and need to be cleaned properly.
